mozilla-mailnews can't be installed because of unmet dependencies

[Christoph Bier]

Upgrading from Hoary to Breezy removed Mozilla and some of its components. After
finishing upgrade I just wanted to install mozilla-mailnews again
(mozilla-browser was automatically installed again during the upgrade) but it
fails. Here's the output:

chris@skull:~$ LANG=C sudo apt-get install mozilla-mailnews
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mozilla-mailnews: Depends: mozilla-browser (= 2:1.7.12-0ubuntu2)
but 2:1.7.12-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

There is no mozilla-browser in version 1.7.12-0ubuntu2 in the respositories.

Sorry, bug was filed before I was finished because I hit return after choosing a
package.

OS is Linux, of course, severity is major, IMHO.

I have all respositories (main restricted universe multiverse) in sources.list.

Best regards,
Christoph

Looks like you have "universe" enabled for "breezy", but only have "main"
enabled for "breezy-updates". This means your mozilla-browser (from
breezy-updates/main) and mozilla-mailnews (from breezy/universe) are out of
sync. Enable the bit in sources.list to get breezy-updates for universe and you
should be on your merry way.

That's it! Thank you very much and sorry for the noise! My mistake.
